Earth's biggest waterfall is hidden beneath the ocean. 🌊

Earth's biggest waterfall is hidden beneath the ocean. 🌊 . . . In the Denmark Strait, cold water plunges about 3,505 meters beneath warmer water. The underwater cascade moves roughly 175 million cubic feet each second—around 2,000 times Niagara Falls' peak flow. The planet's largest waterfall cannot be seen from shore.
